i7 6700k upgrade or gtx 1080 upgrade

[Cash425]

Hello. my current setup is a i7 3770 16 gb 2400mhz ddr3 ram and a gtx 980. I want to upgrade my machine and was wondering whether to upgrade the cpu and ram and motherboard, or just upgrade the gpu again. i was gonna get an i7 6700k an asus hero 8 alpha and 32 gb 3200 mhz ddr4 ram, and keep the gtx 980. Or should i keep the i7 3770 and the 16gb of ram and get a gtx 1080? Btw i have an asus pro something motherboard, which is really cheap. my ram will only run at 1333mhz anyway. I'm thinking of future proofing myself so either way im gonna get a gtx 1080, it just might be in the spring instead of now. My monitor setup is 2 1080p and one 3440x1440p ultrawide. Im leaning towards upgrading my cpu now because like i said either way in the spring i will upgrade my gpu, and currently my cpu seems to be a bottleneck. Any ideas?
thanks

Go with the 6700k, even though your setup would still kick ass in all the games, your processor is the only component I'd see as "weak". i7 3770 will be a bottleneck in several games as well and going for GTX 1080 will make it even more of a bottleneck. There is not much difference in GTX 1080 and 980 anyway, regardless the 6700k is an awesome choice to pair with both of them.

I have to disagree that the 1080 isn't much different than the 980. Here's Tom's review:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-pascal,4572-6.html

The 1080 is beating the 980 (non-ti) by around 60% in most benchmarks. That having been said, I still agree on upgrading the i7 3370 this year and the GPU next year. Not because it's bad, but because the GPU landscape is changing a lot faster than the CPU landscape. The 6700k will remain top end regardless of what Zen and Kaby lake bring to the table. But next year will see Vega, Volta, and possibly a 1080ti.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the response!
